Clinical trial recruitment, run as a partnership
CliniContact

A recruitment partner who plans the whole strategy around your study.

We plan the recruitment strategy around your protocol, your sites and your population, then run it end to end: digital outreach and real community relationships, together. Whether your study needs a fast rescue or a partner for its full length, we shape the engagement to what it actually needs, and manage it from protocol to prescreened referral.

19%
of trials are terminated for failing to enroll enough participants
11%
of study sites enroll zero patients

Widely reported clinical-trial recruitment benchmarks (industry sources to be finalized before publication).

A partner, not a vendor

One recruitment strategy. Run end to end.

We build the recruitment plan around your protocol, population and enrollment goals, then run it across digital, community and technology for as long as your study needs.

01
Plan

Strategy built around your study

Protocol, sites, population, timeline and I/E criteria shape the recruitment plan before spend begins.

02
Reach

Digital and community, together

Horizon and Bridge bring digital campaigns and community referral pathways into one recruitment pipeline.

03
Qualify & Engage

From interest to prepared referral

Smart screening, verification, messaging and scheduling happen before your coordinators need to step in.

04
Refer & Learn

Better referrals, better feasibility

Vision captures every outcome from first touch to qualified referral, giving you real conversion rates, costs and timelines for the study you are running, and the next one.

Already have a system of record? Keep it. Work in Vision, or connect your existing REDCap, Qualtrics or CTMS workflow.

The platform

Four modules across the recruitment funnel.

Each stands alone and hands off without re-keying. Here is the short version; the Solutions page has the full detail on each.

Give Horizon a protocol and about an hour later you have the recruitment package and marketing strategy. Then we run the digital campaigns, at organization scale across every site.

See Horizon on the Solutions page

A global community engine: advocacy groups, patient organizations, providers and clinics across 10 countries on 3 continents, reached in their own language, with a relationship ledger that compounds with every study.

See Bridge on the Solutions page

Branching logic built from your inclusion and exclusion criteria, SMS verification, and an automatic status-aware response the moment a candidate finishes.

See Smart Screener on the Solutions page

The whole referral journey in one place: messaging off the pre-screener, one communication timeline, built-in scheduling, and direct REDCap, Qualtrics or CTMS integration.

Built for complex recruitment

When the protocol gets complicated, the recruitment plan adapts.

Restrictive eligibility, controlled substances, pediatric assent, multi-arm allocation and detailed prescreening. We build the recruitment pathway around what your protocol actually requires.

In their words

Research teams on working with us.

CliniContact has been forthright, fast, seamless and most important: effective. They raised more subjects in 3 months than I had in 2 years.
Dr. Loren Fishman, MD · Sciatica.org
They consistently make the process seamless and accommodating, and we wouldn’t use anyone else to help promote our research studies.
Project Coordinator · Academic University
CliniContact made our participant recruitment fast and stress-free! Staff were highly collaborative and communicative. Highly recommend!
Assistant Professor · Academic University
CliniContact was a great partner. They listened to what my needs were and curated a unique and specific plan for what I was aiming to accomplish. The process was easy, fun, and straightforward.
